"Being an SIUH employee I got to see firsthand all the distress and the emotional suffering of a lot of the employees," Torres said. "The hospital has had over 250 employees that were affected by Hurricane Sandy, with 50 of them losing their homes," said Christian Preston from SIUH. "So events like this are really important for our employee relief fund." For more information visit PourToRestore.com.
